🤖 The Great Bitcoin Garbage Hunt 🗑
James Howells, the unlucky IT engineer from Newport, is suing his local council for $647M after accidentally tossing a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC during a 2013 cleanup. Talk about expensive spring cleaning! 😅
Howells has been begging the council for years to let him dig through 110,000 tonnes of trash to recover his fortune, even offering them 10% of the treasure. But the council said, "Nah, we don’t want asbestos-flavored Bitcoin!" 🧪💨
Despite robots, garbage, and grand recovery plans, the council insists: “No digging – too much methane!” 💨🚫 So James heads to court this December, hoping a judge will side with his crypto crusade.
Lesson learned? Keep your hardware wallet out of the trash. 📦

🔓 China “hacks” crypto! Or... did they? 🤔
Chinese scientists claim their quantum computer cracked some cryptographic algorithms, including ones used in crypto and banking. 💻🔑
But don’t panic just yet! Complete crypto domination isn’t happening anytime soon. Plus, back in March 2024, Vitalik already flexed that Ethereum has an update ready to block quantum attacks. 🛡💪
So, no need to dump your bags over cheap FUD – we’ve seen scarier stuff than this! 👊😎

🏨 Bitcoin Miner Moves Into a Hotel... and Brings His Mining Rig! 💻💰
One ambitious Bitcoin miner just shared a photo of his hotel room filled with mining machines. Looks like he's planning to pay for his entire stay with some serious BTC action! 😁
This trend isn’t new—savvy miners have been setting up rigs in Airbnb rentals for a while now. One Airbnb host even reported his guests burned through a month's worth of electricity in just 4 days by mining Bitcoin! ⚡️💸
Lesson? If you see someone checking into a hotel with 10 power cords and a suspicious number of fans... they might be mining! 😅

🚀 ETH Aiming for $6,000!🤑
According to the latest chart analysis, every time ETH bounces off the lower boundary of its channel, it gains an average of 130%. If this pattern holds (with support at $2,300), the next target could be a fresh $6,000 ATH! 💥
And with BTC creeping back to $66K, these predictions feel extra tempting... 🧪😏

🇺🇸 Kamala Discovers Crypto! 🚀
In a surprising twist, Kamala Harris has finally given a nod to cryptocurrencies! 🪙 In her latest program, Point 3 promises to protect crypto investments—but here’s the catch: it only applies to Black Americans as part of a separate initiative. 🤔
Well, it’s not a full moonshot, but hey, progress is progress! Maybe one day we’ll all get a bit of that crypto love. Until then, we’ll take what we can get. 😅

The Polkadot team spent $37,000,000 on marketing campaigns over 6 months. 🙀 🗣 At the current spending rate, Polkadot has funds left for 2 more years – the community criticizes the high project expenditures on PR that doesn't yield results. Victor Ji, founder…

After getting some community side-eye for wild spending, Polkadot slashed its marketing budget. 💀
In Q2, they earned a humble $250K while burning through $80M (oops). But in Q3, they got thrifty—only spent $27.3M this time. 🫣 Progress, right?
At least they’re moving in the right direction... one budget cut at a time. 🤷♂️

💥 Fed vs. Bitcoin: Kashkari Calls BTC ‘Worthless'!
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari isn’t impressed with Bitcoin, calling it a “worthless asset” despite its 12-year track record. Meanwhile, BTC just keeps flexing—up 48% this year and attracting $556M in ETF inflows on October 14 alone! 📈🚀
Even with a rocky Q3, Bitcoin's open interest hit $19.8B, showing traders are still bullish. 🛠 And with Trump promising to make the U.S. a crypto hub (and Kamala joining the crypto-friendly club), Bitcoin’s future could hinge on the 2024 elections. 🗳
Cold wallets are filling up, and CEX reserves are at an all-time low. Looks like investors are in for the long haul—whether Kashkari likes it or not. 😉

US Prosecutors Demand 5-Year Sentence for Mastermind Behind $6B Bitfinex Crypto Heist 💥
It looks like the "Crocodile of Wall Street's" partner in crime, Ilya Lichtenstein, might be trading in his keyboard for handcuffs! Prosecutors want him to serve 5 years for masterminding the $6 billion Bitfinex heist. His wife and accomplice, Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan, gets 18 months for her rap... and her role in laundering the stolen crypto.
Lichtenstein’s cyber moves shook the crypto world, but prosecutors hope a tough sentence will send a clear message to other would-be hackers: “Mess with the blockchain, and you'll pay the price!" 🕵️♂️💰
Their high-tech tricks included mixing services, NFT shopping, and even Walmart gift cards—because apparently, when you're laundering millions, you still need household essentials! 😅 The sentencing is set for November, and all eyes are on what happens next.
